Vegetarian Star

Louie Pshihoyos, directed of the Oscar nominated documentary The Cove, sat down for an interview with Movie Web.

Pshihoyos himself experienced the affects of contaminated seafood after learning he shared a spot in the mercury poisoned pescatarian hall of fame with Jeremy Piven.

Healthier seafood is better, but complete vegetarian is best!

Olympic skater Johnny Weir has been targeted by animal rights activists for a costume containing fur he wore earlier in the season.

Weir calls them “crazy fur people,” and says they are attacking him as a publicity stunt.

“I’m an easy person to pick on because I’m very open I like fur and I like things that come from dead animals. It’s easy put your cause against an athlete going to the Olympic Games, it’s good free publicity for these activists.”

Although the last rush of protests prompted Weir to switch outfits, he insists if the mood is right, he’ll wear fur on the ice again.

“If I still want to compete, if I felt the costume needed fur, I would wear fur. If all this happens again I get a bodyguard.”

Of course, if Weir stops wearing real fur and buys synthetic, he can save money and ditch the 300 lb. (faux) beefy bouncer.

McDonald’s Germany is reintroducing its veggie burger.

The vegetable patty containing potatoes, carrots and peppers is a part of an overhaul on German McDonald’s menus to increase sales.

The veggie burger is expected to attract more women.

If Christian Serratos goes to Europe, maybe she’ll be Tweeting about meatless patties from the golden arches.

Gabe is a member of Cobra Starship, which won a Libby award for Best Animal Friendly Band.

Travis McCoy has won a PETA Libby award for most animal friendly hip hop artist.

All those plugs on his Twitter about his latest vegetarian meal eaten paid off.

Travis has also starred in an anti-fur ad.

He failed, however, to stop Katy Perry from stuffing her face with pepperoni before the two broke it off.

Maybe Russell Brand will pick up where Travis left off.

“It’s shocking and disturbing. Everyone should know what’s going on in the food industry. It’s not about being a vegetarian or about eating meat. It’s about everyone joining together to change things.”

—-vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney (as quoted by Bloomberg), on the film Food Inc., which educates on the industrial production of food.

Michelle Obama recently spoke about her initiative  to reduce obesity rates in children.

The administration is requesting $10 million dollars over the next decade to improve the school lunch program, which includes making more fruits, vegetables and low fat dairy products available.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine advocates a vegan diet, and two of its representatives, nutritionist Kathryn Strong and public affairs director Elizabeth Kucinich, the wife of representative Dennis Kucinich, have offered their insights.

Strong suggested that subsidies to the meat and dairy industries be cut. If these higher fat meat and cheese items aren’t as cheap, they may be less likely to be included as a regular option in schools.

Kucinich emphasized the value of healthy foods as preventative medicine for obesity related illnesses like diabetes.

“What is the cost to the nation if we don’t [consider it]?” she said, according to the Epoch Times.

Kucinich also emphasized that for some low-income children, the school meal might be the only meal they eat.

Dairy sensitivities and/or lactose intolerance is common in minority groups that are often over- represented in low income school districts.

A carton of soy milk replacing 2% on the lunch tray may give schools a better report card in future semesters.
